Product Description Record in style. The ultra-compact DCR-SX41 Handycam camcorder can record video to 8GB of embedded memory or convenient, removable Memory Stick Duo or Memory Stick PRO Duo media. A professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens delivers sharp, high-resolution images and its 60x optical zoom helps you capture extreme close-ups from far away.

60X Optical Zoom
Ideal for sporting events, wildlife, or distance shooting, 60X optical zoom brings you closer to the action, so you can capture extremely tight shots, even from far away. In addition, digital zoom interpolation means that extreme digital zooming (up to 2000X) is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.

Hybrid Recording to 8GB embedded memory or Memory Stick™ media.
Hybrid recording technology delivers a new level of flexibility of capturing and transferring your video footage and digital photos from the camcorder to compatible viewing devices. Record to 4GB1 embedded flash memory, or choose instead to record to removable Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media (sold separately). You can even select from various dubbing functions to easily copy video or still images from the embedded flash media to the Memory Stick® media -- without using a PC.

Easy dubbing with new DVDirect® Express DVD burner.
This camcorder supports a direct connection with the VRD-P1 DVDirect Express DVD burner (sold separately), which allows you to burn DVDs directly from your camcorder without the need for a PC. And because the VRD-P1 is powered by your camcorder, you don't need an additional AC power cable.
